World AIDS Day, getting to zero.

This photo is taken on December 1st, 2011 in Swaziland. In organizing a day event at the local primary school to raise awareness and decrease stigma of HIV/AIDS, the students participated in various ways. This picture is of young primary school boys showing the traditional Swaziland dancing. It incorporated young women through poems and dramas that displayed this year's theme of 'getting to zero.' They displayed zero new infections, zero HIV/AIDS related deaths and zero stigma associated with HIV. Their shirts showed their passion as it read 'together we are not powerless to act, together we can turn the tide.'
